Self-study
Hi 7Sage Team,
I recently began the drilling portion of the study plan and I noticed that the settings portion before you start drills include difficulty options. Would you recommend just going with the default options, or are there reasons that one should adjust the difficulty level of the drills?
Thank you!

Good question! It's generally a good idea to work your way up the ladder from easier questions to harder ones, often isolating certain question types so you get a strong sense of the right strategy to use with flaws, necessary assumptions, sufficient assumptions, strengthen/weaken, etc. The drills created by your study plan will usually default to a certain difficulty level that is right at the edge of your understanding—not too easy, not too hard—which is where you'll learn the most. So you can stick with the default level unless you feel like you're not learning from the drills and want some questions that are easier or harder.
I would track how well you perform at a given difficulty level and then adjust based on that. So, if you're getting 100% of 2 star weaken questions right, move up to 3 star. I would say that if you're getting 50-70% correct, this is a good level to practice at until you notice improvement.
the levels just depend on whether you are trying to target a specific practice like if you know you can easily answer 1-2 difficulties and want to focus on something harder and vise versa
